Garment workers sewing England's World Cup jerseys are paid one pound per hourIn 2018 the England football team came under fire after the Telegraph published a story of Bangladeshi garment workers being paid 21 pence to sew England’s 160 pounds World Cup kit.Nike is the producer of England’s World Cup kit, with the Daily Mirror tracing the 100 percent polyester items to the Hi-Tech Apparel factory in Bangkok.The Daily Mirror estimated fabric and sewing costs to be 7.30 pounds and 3 pounds respectively, with the factory earning approximately 1.50 per sewn item.While there is no evidence suggesting the Thai garment workers face sub-standard working conditions, Nike has previously been called out for sourcing from factories where workers have not been sufficiently paid.In February the Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) said over 1,000 factories producing garments for Nike, Zara, Gap, Abercrombie and many other brands, collectively failed to pay garment workers 60 million dollars over the course of the pandemic, the largest wage theft in global garment manufacturing history."
